Chapter 373: Confession

Jiang Xinyan saw that Chu Lixuan didn't answer her, and rolled her eyes at him, "Husband~ What do you think?" ”

"Look at what the king of Zhenbei thinks, he is thick-skinned enough to find us to exchange food, and he will sell us people to pay off our debts." Chu Lixuan's deep voice.

"That's fine! Anyway, our farm still needs to be expanded, and the farm has just begun! It's best to mortgage this area of land to us as well. ”

Jiang Xinyan calculated beautifully, and her little fox-like smile was dazzling and beautiful.

Chu Lixuan was stunned, she likes land so much? So won't she be happier if she takes down the whole Dongchen and gives her to play?

The premise is that the territory can no longer be invaded by the southern barbarians, and the southern border will be supported by food first.

"Xinxin, that husband went to farm, you are here to listen to the news of the king of Zhenbei, I don't know how much grain he still has short." After Chu Lixuan finished speaking, he really went to farming.

The king of Zhenbei couldn't find any useful news here from Third Uncle Cheng, "100,000 stone potatoes, we will pay Chu Lixuan back then, and 60,000 stone of rice will be given to the population to pay off your debts."

A laborer is counted as twenty taels of silver, and a woman, child, and child are counted as ten taels of silver. ”

"The grass people can call the shots and ask the prince to arrange for someone to write the paperwork, but the sick and disabled can't be at the normal price."

Uncle Cheng thought that the patient still had to take medicine and delay his working time, which should be cheaper.

"Do you want to be sick or disabled? Then I'll give it to you! King Zhenbei waved his hand, very boldly.

The sick and the disabled, living is a waste of food, what more money do you need!

Although the king of Zhenbei is not a particularly cruel person, but during the famine, he can only be buried alive when he encounters illness and disability, and since someone is willing to take over, he doesn't need silver.

"On behalf of the grass people, thank you, the prince." Third Uncle Cheng said with sincere fear.

The two sides drew up an instrument on the number of people to be exchanged for food, and the exchange was officially completed.

King Zhenbei was still sitting in the conference hall and worried, how could he talk to Chu Lixuan about the food he owed, and he didn't know if he wanted so many people to live.

Xuanyuan Chen took the initiative to send Third Uncle Cheng out of the gate of the barracks, "Chen has seen my uncle and cousin." ”

Third Uncle Cheng was so shocked that he didn't know how to speak, so Cheng Xianping said excitedly: "Cousin is willing to recognize us?" ”

He didn't ask Xuanyuan Chen why he didn't recognize them until he went out of the gate, as long as he was willing to admit them.

"Cousin, this Nine Rings is for you." Cheng Xianping took out the nine rings hidden in his sleeve.

"Thank you, cousin, I didn't know about your existence before, it was Brother Zhao who told me last night, so I didn't prepare a gift."

Xuanyuan Chen hesitated again and again, not because he didn't want to recognize his relatives, but because he was afraid that Uncle Cheng didn't want to recognize him.

"We have always known about your existence, but we were too poor before, and my mother was afraid of causing trouble to my aunt."

"My mother and concubine have no relatives, and she can recognize her uncle and cousin, Chen is very happy, my sister Shuang'er still lives in Mud Town, does my cousin know?"

"I know, Cousin Shuang and we have recognized each other, so we just wanted to come over this time to recognize our relatives, if it weren't for my cousin's enthusiasm, we wouldn't dare to hope to recognize our relatives."

Xuanyuan Chen looked at his cousin, who had eyebrows that were somewhat similar to his own, "My mother's pressure is too great, please forgive my uncle and cousin." ”

"Little General Xuanyuan is polite, your mother is not wrong, we can't rely on her, if you want such a mother's family, you will drag her back." Third Uncle Cheng was very mindful that Concubine Li Shu wanted to gouge out his son's eyeballs.

Xuanyuan Chen said curtly: "I'm afraid my mother won't be willing to recognize you in the future." "He knows his mother's virtues too well.

Instead of holding out hope, it is better to open the skylight and speak brightly, so as not to become a resentful relative.

"It's good that our cousins know each other, I can understand your mother, Cousin Frost told us a lot, she said you will be happy if you know."

"Frost told you everything?" Xuanyuan Chen was stunned! His sister actually told her cousin that they weren't!

Although it's really hard for his mother to say, is it really good to say it like this?

"Cousin Frost didn't tell me, she told my mother and sister." Cheng Xianping didn't want his cousin to misunderstand him.

"Uncle, cousin, you should play here for a few more days this time." Xuanyuan Chen wanted to ask his father if he wanted to recognize his relatives.

His mother, it is absolutely impossible to recognize his uncle and aunt, Xuanyuan Chen knows Concubine Li Shu's virtue too well.

"Cousin, you must be ready for battle! This North Vietnamese mission was driven out by your father, will they come to retaliate! ”

"Come on, come on! We're not afraid of them now, we lost because we were betrayed by the He Jian Army. ”

"Cousin, their horses trampled on so many of your crops, why didn't they leave without compensation?"

"If we drive them away, we will tear our faces, and we will not ask them to pay, and if we do, we will not be able to pay them, so we can only beat them hard."

"The North Vietnamese are too hateful, their horses, cattle, and sheep trample on so many crops and they don't pay for it!" Cheng Xianping couldn't accept it.

"What is this animal trampling on! In previous years, their soldiers often crossed the border to grab food. Xuanyuan Chen said disapprerovingly.

"We have to fight every year, and it was the North Vietnamese who invaded for no reason, and our Zhenbei Army drove them away.

Repeatedly, if you hit hard, you will stop for a year and a half, and if you forget the pain, you will forget the pain, and you will come again after a year and a half. ”

"Cousin, your Zhenbei Army is really powerful, and you have to farm while keeping the border safe." Cheng Xianping really admires him.

"We didn't farm before, and the imperial court had military salaries, but this year's locust plague has caused a lot of crops and suffered particularly serious losses, so the imperial court has not paid military salaries."

Xuanyuan Chen was still very grateful to Chu Lixuan, if it weren't for Chu Lixuan, their Zhenbei Army would definitely suffer heavy losses.

In particular, the traitor of He Jianjun can't be found, let alone growing food, and even the territory under his feet can't be saved.

"If it weren't for your Chu Ye suggesting that my father grow potatoes, we wouldn't know how to survive."

"Our Chu Ye is amazing, cousin, let me tell you, Chu Ye used to lead troops to fight, but he planted rice quickly and well!"

"He's going to plant seedlings, huh? My father said that he was born in a family since he was a child, and he went to war at the age of twelve, so how could he plant rice! ”

Xuanyuan Chen's worship of Chu Lixuan is a worship that has been engraved in his bones since he was a child.

Because, his father learned from Chu Lixuan's grandfather to arrange troops, and they have always exchanged letters, so he is very clear about Chu Lixuan's affairs.

"Yes, not only Master Chu will, but Mrs. Chu will also, Mrs. Chu is also very powerful, the young valley master of the Heavenly Medicine Valley still studies medicine with Mrs. Chu and opens sutures!"

Before Cheng Xianping's worship of Chu Lixuan and his wife, it was like a surging river, endless.

The newly recognized cousins all admire Chu Lixuan very much, so they are reluctant to part when they talk a lot.

"Little general, the prince invites you to go back and discuss important matters."
